Special Education
Visit Ilboru Primary School to see how the deaf and disabled children of Arusha are defying the longest odds with help from AKP.
Day 3 | Tarangire National Park - A Lesson in Local Cuisine
Today, enjoy morning and afternoon game drives in search of eland, oryx, wildebeest and zebra as well as the park's large elephant population. Your local expert driver-guide draws on years of experience in the bush to locate the best wildlife viewing opportunities right as they happen. Later, this afternoon, learn how to prepare local dishes like ugali and kachumbari as part of an A&K Chef 's Table experience.
Day 4 | Ngorongoro Crater - Amphitheater of Animals
As you cross the Great Rift Valley, stop for a market visit in a local village where stalls brim with vibrant local produce. Then, see the village from a different perspective as you ride by tuk-tuk, viewing the local community and rice fields as you go. Next, take a scenic drive to tranquil Gibb's Farm, where you stop for a lunch made with organic, just-picked ingredients. Later, arrive at the natural amphitheater of Ngorongoro Crater, a 2,000-foot-deep caldera. A fascinating microcosm of East African wildlife — including buffalo, flamingoes, lions and leopards — resides inside. Climb the outer wall, passing through dense vegetation until a breathtaking view across the crater floor appears. Arrive at your camp, nestled in a wooded area with easy access to the crater floor and featuring elegant, tented accommodations adorned with handwoven rugs, comfortable beds with crisp linens and en-suite bathrooms with flush toilets. Relax on your veranda to view a gathering of acacia trees akin to an enchanted forest, watching in awe as late afternoon light peeks through the woodland and a campfire crackles in front of the main lounge, creating an almost magical atmosphere.
Day 5 | Ngorongoro Crater - Natural Wildlife Haven
Descend into the crater, arriving ahead of most visitors — thanks to the closer proximity of your ideally located accommodations — to view the resident wildlife at its most active time of day. This afternoon, visit with an elder at a Maasai village, where you learn about the tribe's traditional, nomadic lifestyle and coexistence with wildlife. Later, witness a dance performance at your tented camp. Sense the spirit of this pastoral, nomadic people who have kept their tribal traditions alive through countless generations of life in East Africa.
Day 6 | Serengeti National Park - Searching the Vast Plains
Fly to the fabled Serengeti National Park and settle into your remote, authentic camp. Then, set out on the boundless Serengeti, one of the oldest and least-changed ecosystems on earth, where the circle of life plays out every day. It is home to one of the world's largest concentrations of wildlife, with lions, hyenas and leopards all roaming free. For a portion of each year, dictated by weather patterns and the unpredictable nature of wild animals, vast herds of wildebeest and zebra move through the Serengeti in search of grass and water as part of the year-round Great Migration cycle. This evening, sip a cocktail and reflect on the majesty of Africa during a relaxing Scenic Sundowner experience.
Day 7 | Serengeti National Park - Intimate Bush Lunch
Venture out on a morning game drive in the protected Serengeti refuge, where flowing rivers support a plethora of species. In addition to lions, elephants, Cape buffalo and leopards, keep your camera handy for sights such as a cheetah bolting after a fleet-footed Thomson's gazelle. Take a break for a private lunch in the bush — an A&K luxury safari specialty — savoring fine food and drink as a symphony of wildlife sounds envelops you. On this afternoon's game drive, once again enjoy ideal game viewing as your highly experienced driver-guide strives continually to keep you in the heart of the action. Tonight, gather for a memorable farewell dinner.
Day 8 | Depart Arusha
Fly to Arusha and enjoy lunch. Relax in a comfortable dayroom before transferring to the airport for your flight home.
